Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Feb. 16, 1915. 7

Application filed March 14, 1914. Serial N 0. 824,754.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. Horn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Paris, in the county of Lamar and State of Texas, have invented new and useful Improvements in Oil-Burners, of which the following is a specification.

This invention is an improved oil burner for utilizing crude oils for cooking and heating purposes in stoves and furnaces, the object of the invention being to provide an improved oil burner of this class which is extremely cheap and simple, which may be readily installed, and which is adapted to burn oil practically without smoke.

The invention consists in the construction, combination and arrangement of devices hereinafter described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings :F igure 1 is an elevation of an oil burner constructed in accordance with my invention, showing the same arranged in the fire box of a stove, said fire box being indicated in dotted lines and the supply tank for the burner being also shown together with the air compressing pump used in connection therewith. Fig. 2 is a detail sectional view of my improved burner on a larger scale.

In accordance with my invention I provide an oil burner which consists essentially of a pipe which comprises an upper arm 1, a lower arm 2 and a coil 3 which forms the connection between the said arms. A pipe 4 is attached to the arm 1 by a coupling 5 and is attached to and passes through an opening in the front wall a of the fire box and is provided with clamping nuts 6 for securing it, and hence also securing the burner in place. pipe A is a downwardly extending elbow 6 to which is attached a vertical pipe 7 which is provided with a T 8 that has a regulatmg and cutofi valve 9. To the end of the arm 2 is attached an upwardly extending elbow 10. A nipple 11 connects the elbow 10 to an elbow 12. A pipe section 12 is attached to the elbow 12 and extends toward the coil 3, and to the outer end-of said section 12 is screwed a cap 13 which has a minute jet bore 14 that is directed toward the center of the coil. This cap has a slit 15 to adapt it to be readily turned by a screw driver and hence enable the cap to be readily removed when desired and for cleaning out the jet bore thereof.

In connection with the burner I provide from the arm 1 At the front end of the' an oil tank 16 which has an air pump 17 for compressing air in the column of oil therein. This air compressmg pump is here shown as connected to the tank by a tube 18 and the tank has a valve 19 for closing connection between the tank and the air pump when desired. The tank 1s also shown as having a pressure gage 20. A feed tube 21 leads downwardly in the tank to a point near the bottom thereof and has a cutoff valve 22 at its upper end. A tube 23 of suitable size connects the feed tube 21 to the intake tube 7 of the burner.

By compressing air in the tank, which may be readily done by operating the pump, 0111s forced from the tank through the tubes 21 and 23 to the intake tube 8 and hence through the main portion of the burner. The burner tube with its arms 12 and coil 3 1s filled with small wires indicated at 24 in Fig. 2, these wires reducing the capacity tank and above the of the burner tube and preventing too rapid a flow of oil therethrough. The burner havlng been initially heated, the oil asit passes through the same and especially as it passes through the coil 3 is converted into gas which escapes from the jet cap 13 and burns, directing a flame against the coil and hence keeping the coil highly heated so that when the burner has been started in operation it requires practically no further attentlon. By first uncoupling the pipe 4: of the burner tube and also detaching the elbow 10 the wires may be readily withdrawn from the burner tube and 0011 should it become necessary to clean the burner. This, however, will occur very rarely. The cap may also be readily detached by unscrewing the same from the pipe section 12 Said elbows 10 and 12 in effect form a reversely turned arm on one end of the burner cap toward the coil.

Having thus described my invention, I cla1m:

1. The herein described oil burner com prising a tube having upper and lower arms and a coil connecting them, an oil intake tube 2 to direct the jet- 2. The herein described oil burner combeing threaded on said reversely turned arm prising a tube having upper and lower arms and readily detachable therefrom, said cap, and a coil connecting them, an oil intake pipe arms and coil lying in a common plane. tube connected to the upper arm of the In testimony whereof I affiX my signature 5 burner and including a member adapted to in presence of two witnesses.

pass throu h a stove wall and provided with fastening devices, and a reversely curved WILLIAM HOPE tubular arm attached to the lower arm of Witnesses: the burner tube and provided with a jet W. lV. Joi-rNs,

10 cap directed toward the coil, the said jet cap J. H. FORD.
